Security guard stabbed in Jerusalem bus station attack

A security guard has been seriously injured in a stabbing attack at Jerusalem’s central bus station.

The Israeli – believed to be aged 30 – was attacked this afternoon by a Palestinian man who was later apprehended by police.

It is believed medics from Magen David Adom rushed to treat the victim, who is reportedly in a serious condition in hospital.

The incident comes amid heightened tension as protests against the United States’s decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel’s capital continue around the world.
